An incident that happened a long time ago, one that I almost threw into the trash can of my memories, flashed across my mind. I quickly poked Sandora's ball in the air. "Sandora, do you remember when the Protoss was hit by a fragment of a star ring?"
It was obvious that Shadora had almost forgotten about it. However, she immediately reacted when I reminded her, "Oh! I remember now! That was two or three years ago, right? When we were collecting the fragments of the star ring, the Protoss said that he found something strange in his territory … I still remember that the fragment had an inert reaction. At that time, we didn't know much about the inert abyss, and we scratched our heads together with the Protoss for a long time. "
Then, both of us looked up at the gray and inconspicuous artificial planet in space: the Deity Forge.
Back then, the Protoss and the Empire worked together to study it for a long time, and we even sent out a few Void Patrol teams to investigate the origin of that strange fragment, but to no avail. Now that so much time had passed, this matter had been put on the shelf as an unsolved case, but the truth and the culprit had popped out just like that! Can this thing called fate be any more mystical than this?
"What? What do you have against me? " The unrestrained AI was being watched by me and Sandora. Even though we were watching through a holographic projection, it still felt awkward. "Did the fragment hit someone? Let me make it clear that I don't care about compensation. Do you know how difficult it is to throw a floating bottle out of a contaminated area? Accidents are inevitable. Plus, this thing was designed by that woman. If you have any problems, you can look for her. "
"It didn't hit anyone, but we did 'probably' see the fragment you threw out, and it gave us a headache for a long time." I spread my hands and quickly told the story. "… That's the situation. It seems that the device that Abyssal Schilling left behind wasn't reliable. We almost disassembled the fragment into elementary particles, but we still couldn't find where it came from. Although it did successfully attract the attention of the Protoss and the New Empire, it was only for a while."
"In the name of the general!" The Deity Forge was instantly exasperated. "I knew that the device that woman gave us wasn't reliable! She even said that as long as we launched all the fragments during the hibernation period, at least one of them would land in the Protoss or the tinder … What's the point of launching it! All the information on it was erased! "
"So, there's a message on the wreckage?" Shadora asked curiously.
"Of course, I'd be a fool if I just threw a drift bottle without putting a note in it. I've already done that once when I launched the escape ship. How can I do it again?" The Celestial Forge Furnace seemed to have a stomach full of anger. "Every wreckage has the information of this universe attached to it. Twenty coded void coordinates point to this world! But now it seems that there was a problem with the teleportation process. This teleportation door was a verification type. It seems that everything that was teleported out was destroyed beyond recognition … Damn it, luckily I kept my word and stayed here to guard the door. I didn't take the risk of using that thing to send myself out. Otherwise, I would have died without a corpse. How could the effects of that woman's things be so bad? "
"She already died once. Don't keep harping on her. At least the protective layer she set up here is pretty good, isn't it?" I never thought that there would be a day where I would speak up for Abyssal Schilling. "Look, at least you survived until today."
The Deity Forge calmed down. "That's true. Being alive is better than anything else. Oh right, I still have a few fragments here. Do you want them? Since they were blown to pieces, there's no point in keeping them. I kept them back then to throw them out as floating bottles. To be honest, I feel a little annoyed looking at them. This is like cutting off one's own body piece by piece and throwing it out to attract people … "
I was instantly disgusted by this strange analogy. I quickly waved my hand. "Stop it, stop it. Just leave the fragments to us. The New Empire has been recycling these kinds of historical problems for a long time … But then again, are you only going to send out these fragments? If you want to send out a distress letter, you can try other things as well. There's a limit to the number of fragments. Besides, you tore your own fragments apart and threw them out … That's a little too strange. "
"What's strange? I don't understand. "The Deity Forge was curious." I occasionally send out other things, such as a database or some other junk. In terms of quantity, there are more of them than the fragments of the star ring. But now it seems that that woman is really unreliable. I'm afraid that these things have either flown off to some unknown place or have been destroyed to the point that even their own mother wouldn't be able to recognize them. Tsk tsk. "
All the mysteries of the star ring fragments were finally solved. Although the truth was a little funny, it was still an unsolved case that spanned five years.
The star ring wasn't stolen by an enemy. She ran away on her own. The Fallen Apostle didn't take the initiative to capture the star ring and infuse her with the pollution of the Abyss. Instead, she plunged headfirst into the pollution zone and had no choice but to self-destruct. Some of the star ring fragments floating around in the void were indeed "natural disasters", but a small portion were actually man-made distress letters. It was a pity that no one could read the contents of the distress letters.
So far, we had only found one "safe fragment" that the Deity Forge had sent out herself, and that was because it happened to land in the territory of the Protoss. The other things that she had sent out were unknown. That was normal. Only dangerous items with a large amount of pollution could be considered distinctive, and they would be conspicuous no matter where they were thrown. Those relatively harmless "floating bottles" were different. They didn't have any function to send out messages (even if they did, they would be damaged during transmission). Unless they landed on a colony of the Protoss or the Empire, no one would be able to see them.
Speaking of which, did Abyssal Schilling really not calculate this? She couldn't have just wanted to give this slightly naive AI something to look forward to so that she would listen to her, right? This problem was probably unsolvable, and it was best not to look into it — it was all in the past anyway.
"Any more questions?" The Deity Forge saw that Sandora and I didn't say anything for a long time, so it took the initiative to bring up its mission. "If there are no more questions, I will be preparing to open the door. First, I will open the stomach and reveal the storage room. Then, I will open the safety barrier of this world. Heh, then, I will be free! You said that you would let me meet with the general, so don't go back on your words. I clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges, and whoever dares to joke about the general's matters will die. "
The Deity Forge's words were very rude, just like the second lunatic. However, Sandora and I only felt gratified for Visca, and we didn't feel the slightest bit unhappy. Sandora floated to the front of the communication device. First, she informed the elves who were on standby in the lounge nearby that they could come and watch the "historical moment." Then, she told the Deity Forge to prepare to activate the final agreement.
Dozens of elves returned to the hall with various expressions on their faces, witnessing this historical moment that they had been looking forward to for 70,000 years. Originally, I thought that at this time, I would also be overwhelmed with emotions, but … in any case, I continued to curl up in my chair. My physical and mental exhaustion had yet to subside.
Communicating with this kind of crazy mainframe that Visca had created was as bad as mental pollution!
In the future history books, please remember to properly correct and correct this paragraph. More than 40 Cardinal Bishops and two Popes were overwhelmed with emotions as they witnessed history, while the leader of the Empire was hiding in his chair and playing dead. This was quite embarrassing …
"Final agreement verification … activation conditions met. Currently injecting energy into the inner structure of the Planetary Fortress. About to open the warehouse …"
That crazy AI finally became normal when it came to proper business. It began to broadcast the system's progress in a flat and straightforward synthesized voice like a normal starship's mainframe. You don't say — I actually felt a little unaccustomed to this after being dinged by the system! It was just as unaccustomed to seeing Liliana solemnly preaching on the streets!
"Synchronizing connection to the interference generator. Following protocol ZA-35, ZA-36, ZA-155, the interference generator has entered the shutdown process … Confirming the extremely dangerous operation, verification passed. The shutdown process has entered an irreversible phase, the universe will be exposed in 30 minutes. "
"Opening the outer shell of the Planetary Fortress, unlocking the warehouse."
The gray surface of the Planetary Fortress began to change visibly. An unprecedentedly large earthquake was occurring at the equator, and the entire surface of the earth was undulating like waves. Then, a huge crack appeared on the equator, and the crack grew wider and wider. Soon, we could see countless light spots moving like fireflies within it. The crack turned into a canyon, and quickly turned into a heavenly abyss …
The entire planet was splitting in half!
"To be honest, only I can do this because my body was originally made up of two pieces. It used to be two circles, but now it's two hemispheres. I have an innate psychological foundation … Oh, I'm doing proper business now, cough cough." The Deity forger's mouth had just lost control for a moment, but it immediately reacted and changed into the monotonous synthetic female voice. "Opening the warehouse. Unlocking the internal locking device. Activating the 'shelf' propulsion mechanism … Pushing the 'goods' to the external environment. Sigh, a lot of dust has fallen into the body from the surface, and a small part of the mountain has also fallen in … What if I can't close it later? What if the mountain is stuck in the stomach? Squeeze it hard? "
The Serpent Master Host was indeed from the same family as the Second Lunatic. She could only speak three or four sentences seriously.
The opening process seemed to take a long time, obviously to ensure the safety of something in the warehouse. Sandora and I stared at the dim core of the planet that was gradually exposed. We were curious about this treasure. It was said that Abyssal Schilling found a way to transform a small area of the Abyss at the end of the cataclysm, and she did not use my Void power, but some kind of 'equipment'. In the end, she sealed the equipment and the Deity forger in this universe, probably for the future generations to use when the Empire was reborn. This could be said to be the last black technology of the Old Empire. What would it look like?
A strange-looking black object with a diameter of about one-third the size of the moon floated out from the core of the planet.
"What is this?" I was shocked. "Was this made by the Empire? It looks so different. "
It was a huge piece of equipment. It was entirely black and had a metallic luster to it. It looked like five or six half-melted ice cream balls piled up together. The round and round shape obviously didn't look like the style of the empire. Also, there were many strange protrusions and lights on the surface of this huge equipment that was one-third the size of the moon. However, none of them were the words' Made in the Empire 'that I was familiar with. Shadora even released a probe to fly around it, and the result was shocking. This thing didn't even have the empire's military emblem!
There was indeed no nameplate on the equipment made by Abyssal Schilling, but at the very least, there should be an emblem on the surface of such a huge equipment!
"What is this? How would I know? "The Celestial Forge Furnace was still in a state of shock after the entire planet had been split in half. He pushed the things in the storage out of his shield and said," I am just a gatekeeper. That woman said to keep this thing. She doesn't even know who to give this thing to. You guys go and study it yourselves. "
I thought of the unstable situation at the end of the Old Empire. Even with Abyssal Schilling's great talent and strategy, it would have been difficult for her to plan for everything. In the end, she basically stuffed everything that could be protected together. So, she really didn't have the time to arrange a backup plan for every Tinder. But this thing in front of me was a little too strange. The previous Tinder project at least looked like it was to preserve information about the Empire, but this thing … no matter how I looked at it, it did not have the blood of Abyssal Schilling.
The strangely shaped huge equipment was finally pushed to the open area, and the Celestial Forge Furnace slowly closed up. I was sure that the gray planet was twisting up and down as it closed up. When the planet opened up, a large amount of rock and mountain fell into the Heaven Abyss rift. If it was a normal planetary fortress, it would not have cared, since the internal cleaners would have cleaned it up quickly. But this planetary fortress in front of me had a restless and artistic heart. As a starship's main pilot, she was actually a neat freak!
A huge planet was twisting right there! The entire Earth's crust was trembling! That layer of artificial rock and soil was full of wrinkles because of her twisting and twisting. I thought to myself that it was fortunate that the elves and the other refugees were no longer living there. Otherwise, what kind of natural disaster would this be?
After this thing reunited with Lunatic Two, it would definitely become the new Empire's biggest public nuisance. There was nothing more dangerous than two lunatic planetary fortresses. I could already imagine the two planetary fortresses holding hands and going to the asteroid belt to collect "shells". When they came back, they would throw a meteor shower at everyone's face … I had to warn the Warlord first.
At this time, Sandora was still wasting her time trying to figure out what the huge black equipment that looked like a half-melted ice cream ball was. All kinds of scanning equipment were online, and hundreds of probes were circling around the huge equipment. Some probes were trying to find an entrance to enter, but I felt that even with Sandora's ability, she would not be able to find anything in such a short period of time.
The huge equipment did not have any psionic reaction. Maybe it was completely broken, or maybe it had run out of energy. It was even more likely that it did not use psionic energy at all. In any case, we could not detect where its power was, and naturally, we did not know how it worked. We did not know how Abyssal Schilling used this thing to deal with the ring fragments. It was like an abstract piece of scrap metal. The unrestrained AI had kept it in its mouth for tens of thousands of years, but when it spat it out, no one could recognize it. Sandora studied it for half an hour, and in the end, she could only come up with one conclusion. "This thing seems to be a little damaged. One of the hemispherical structures was blown up, and there are remnants of something that looks like a connection device. It might have other components, but they are not here."
"Don't look at me, I don't know anything." The unrestrained AI's reaction was as fast as ever, especially when it was shirking responsibility. "It was like this when we first put it in. It was broken from the very beginning. By the way, I have the inspection report when we first put it in. There is also a video. Do you want to see it? I have done things meticulously, and I have long been prepared to take the blame … "
I felt that it was best not to continue communicating with this guy who damaged my military reputation …
At this time, the interference field that enveloped the entire universe had completely stopped. As the mainframe of the spaceship sent a "communication re-established" notification, Sandora and I temporarily shifted our attention away from the strange … big piece of equipment.
"The interference has completely disappeared." Sandora looked at the communicator as it reloaded the environment parameters and searched for a channel. Her voice sounded relaxed. "Something left behind by Abyssal Schilling … is really hard to deal with."
I didn't bother to say anything as I waited for the communication to connect. The elves behind me were also anxiously looking forward to it. They knew that this was an important moment in history, and the few minutes felt like years. Finally, the channel was reloaded, and a familiar voice echoed clearly in the hall. "This is the Garden of the Departed — Ah Jun!?"
It was Shallow Shallow's voice. It seemed that she was standing guard in the Garden of the Departed, or perhaps she had been there for the past few days.
The bandwidth was restored, and Shallow Shallow's hologram appeared on the communicator. She was practically crawling over to me. "Ah Jun! I see you, Ah Jun! Are you guys alright? Where's Sandora? Where are you guys now? What happened in the past few days? We couldn't find you anywhere … Hey, there are so many people behind you. Who are they? They look like elves? Are they hitching a ride? Ah Jun, there's a ball on your shoulder. What's that ball for? It seems to be floating! "
I couldn't even reply. "…"
That girl's mouth was still as slippery as ever. Did she save it up for half a month just to throw it at me now?
Shallow Shallow was bouncing happily on the other side of the communicator as she talked and laughed. She didn't care about her image at all, nor did she care if there were any outsiders around. Even across the entire void, I could feel her heartfelt excitement and joy. It was very touching. But before I could feel it for a few minutes, Shallow Shallow was pushed to the side by another person, and Lin Xue appeared on the hologram. "You bastard, you still know how to report back to your family? Hey, hurry up and tell me, what happened to you the past few days! "
It seemed that I would have to explain my whereabouts for the past two days to pass the test.
